Streaming rented move wont show

Im so frustrated with my apple TV.
I rent a movie on my Macpro thinking I can stream it to my ATV.
I have a nice dinner, go to watch a movie on my ATV thinking it will stream to my
ATV and RENTED MOVIES doesnt even show up on my menu.
My mac is on.
My itunes is open.
My RENTED MOVIES is there in iTunes.
My ATV is there displayed on my iTunes.
No RENTED MOVIES are on my menu of my ATV - WHY?

...you cannot drag and drop the rental....
You can to an iPod touch or iPhone. I seem to recall doing it once with my ATV.
In any case, you can't just sync a rental movie that was purchased from iTunes on a computer to an ATV. If dragging and dropping doesn't work, the OP may have to right-click on the movie in iTunes and select the option to transfer it from the popup menu.

Streaming rented movies on ipad or Apple TV

Is it possible to stream rented movies after purchasing them? After sitting down with family I happily rented a movie from iTunes only to see that I have a 2h wait before we can watch it. I was surprised not to see it listed under purchased media. I didn't even realize that it was initially downloading. I frequently purchase SD episodes from my iPad or phone and access them from my Apple TV account. I am confused as to why I cannot do the same with a rented movie.

I appreciate the input. I gave iTunes another chance later that evening following the suggestions of others to use the Apple TV itself. Unfortunately the Apple TV does not always allow the rental of SD content which is usually cheaper and faster to download. I was still disappointed to see that even on the Apple TV the content did not stream and was required to download for more than an hour. The point of frustration is that rental content must be downloaded to any device at all. It is time consuming and unnecessary for something that is by definition temporary. It's not like it even has to be done that way. Many services allow streaming of rental content and even on iTunes if I were to purchase any of the same media it would be available to stream from any device on the same account. Some mentioned that they hate explaining that process. Apple used to be known for how intuitive its devices were. Known for anticipating new ways to use technology and the needs of its customers. It is ridiculous that there is a process to explain at all.

AppleTV wont stream rented movies

Since the recent update for the appleTV, i have been unable to stream rented itunes movies from my mac book pro to the appleTV2. All I get is that busy signal on the tv screen (the flower petal circle indicator). I only have this problem with rented movies. I can stream purchased movies with no problems.

I'm having a similar problem with my rented movies. I rented a movie from my iMac, and am trying to view it on my Apple TV, and I'm getting the error message that the content could not be loaded. I get the flower petal circle indicator, then the screen switches to what looks like the movie starting (the movie time indicator is now at the bottom of the screen), and then I get the error message.

Streaming Rented Movies Error (Apple TV 2G)

Hi,
I just purchased the new apple tv but the problem is when i try to preview the movie or play rented movie, i always get this error message "An error occurred while loading this content".
I dont know what to do, i tried restarting the router or plugin the Apple tv direct to the Ethernet but still the same problem.
P.S The Apple TV is updated the latest version 4.2

i have had a few errors each one unique, one is the standard error loading content. the other errors are something about needing an hdmi cable umm got one lol.. and the other error is the authorization.. i find simply unplugging the apple tv and plugging it back in works.. i don't use my unit very often its a trail thing..so far im impressed with the quality but not overly impressed with the amount of errors i get its only like a month or three old. id love to see more streaming 1080p content i would drop digital cable if they supported the 1080p and had a few more networks that carried some of my favorite shows.. i have tried resetting it and that don't do much either so i dono *shrug*
anyway if someone ever finds a work around or a fix let me know because unplugging and plugging it back in gets a little friggin annoying but it works.. if you don't mind the hassle

Rented movie not showing up on iPod Touch's "videos"

I just rented my first movie on iTunes and went through the process of "moving" it to my iPod Touch 2G. In iTunes it shows that it is now on my iPod, and I can see that my video filespace has significantly increased since the transfer. However, on my iPod, under "videos" the movie does not show up. The only items listed are two TV episodes which I earlier purchased and transferred. I tried moving it back to my computer, and then moving it back again to my iPod, but no luck. Any thoughts on how to access my rented movie on my iPod?

I have the same exact issue. Rented a movie yesterday. itunes downloaded it. it was in my library. i moved it to the device. I synced. it shows it is taking up space on my ipod but I cannot find where I can play it. Even installed the new 2.2.1 software and that didnt affect this. how do I play what I rented?

Can't rent movies/tv shows on apple tv and iphone

I've just recently updated my apple id to my current email address. All of my purchases show up with no issues. However, now, I can't rent movies or tv shows from my Apple TV and my Iphone (I can purchase music on my Iphone with no issue). I've even performed a restore on my Apple TV with no luck. I can rent them with no problem on my MacBook Pro. I'll wait for the download to complete and AirPlay from my Iphone to my Apple TV. Netflix, Home Sharing and all other services function just fine. All devices are on the same WiFi network as well. Even running the System Status report, everything's in the green. I'm frustrated and lost on how to correct this issue. All seem to work fine before updating my email address which has me thinking there was a glitch with that. Please help!!!

I actually had to go to the Genius Bar to get this solved. They made some adjustment, reloaded iTunes, and then it worked. Sorry, I can't tell you exactly what they did.

Rented movies wont transfer to ipod

I have an ipod touch. I have rented movies before and they have always allowed my to select them and transfer onto my ipod. I am currently unable to do that with the two new movies that i rented. They show up in the rented movie section, but there is not box for me to check so that they are moved to my ipod when it is connected. I have more than enough space on my ipod for both. I only have 14 days left before they are gone and I hate the idea that I wasted my money. Please Help!!

Finally, after two hours researching this, I found the problem. Apple says which iPods movie rentals work on, but it doesn't say the ones it doesn't work on. It's some BS marketing rule that says you never highlight what your product can't do. In this case, they have created confusion and frustration and have wasted everyone's time. All they have to say is this:
"If you have an 80 gig iPod, you may think you have an iPod Classic, but you may actually have a 5th Generation iPod (especially if you bought it around September 2007). Yes, both of them have a click wheel and both of them play movies, but the serial numbers are three digits off, so find a jeweler's magnifying glass to read your serial number. If it ends in anything but Y5N, YMU, YMV, and YMX, you have a 5th Gen iPod, not an iPod Classic, and you cannot transfer rented movies to it. You won't get an error message because that's too helpful. Instead, it just won't show up on your Movies list where you tell it which movies to synch. It's up to you to figure out why. We know, we say on our web page 'Rented Movies. Now Showing Everywhere.' We meant 'everywhere but your 5th Gen iPod.' We lied. And, yes, we know your 5th Gen iPod plays movies you buy, but whatever."

Rented movies not showing up.

I purchased three rented movies and i wanted to watch them on my iphone 4s so I plugged it into my computer to transfer them over. I clicked on the movies tab under my device and only one of the movies i have rented showed up to be able to be synced. I was wondering why the other Two rented movies i have are unable to be synced/put on my iphone. They show up under rented movies in my iTunes library on my computer but not in the movies tab under my device to sync to my iphone.

I had this problem as well. I had just downloaded a movie prior to installing an update and then the movie disappeared. The problem resolved after I signed out of iTunes & signed back in again.

Rented movies not showing up on ipod

I recently purchased an 16GB ipod touch and one of the first things I did was rent a movie and tested it out. It worked great. I have now rented two more movies and for some reason they are not working.
I downloaded them, synced them with my ipod, the video storage increased substantially, hit the videos icon to view one and for some strange reason, they show up for a split second and then they are gone.
There is plenty of storage space (about half the ipod is full according to the capacity bar in itunes...shows there is 8.17GB of storage space free).
I have a tv show listed on there and a few video podcasts as well. They all work just fine, but for some reason the movies are not listed except when I first hit the video icon...they show up on the list for a second and then disappear. Any ideas why I can't view them?
Your help is much appreciated...thanks!!

This also happened to me. I rented a movie and moved it to my ipod touch (2nd gen) and the rented movies tab on itunes is no longer there because I moved the movie to the ipod but it doesn't show up on my ipod. I have less disk space on my ipod, so i know the movie was moved, but I can't find it and now I just have afew hours left before it expires.
Where can I find the movie in my ipod???

Rented Movies not showing up on iPad?

I downloaded three movies on my computer (I was able to use a very nice high speed lan connection) as rentals to watch on a trip. I sync'ed my iPad to the computer, however after I did the sync, I still don't see the rented movies. Any suggestions? I do see a movie I bought with no issues but not any of the rented ones.
Thanks in advance...

Ok you got me going down a road, thanks... But Here's what I find when I go into "Help"
To transfer a rental to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV:
Connect your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices):
Click the Movies or TV Shows tab, depending upon the item you rented.
Select the rented item.
Click Move.After you transfer a rental, it’s removed from your iTunes library.
Still no luck...

Rented Movies not showing up in Front Row

So I was able to "rent" 300 from the iTunes store. I accepted all of the terms and agreements. The download starts. I go to Front Row and look under movies and there is no 300. There is also no section for "Rented Movies". Is this a mistake? Does the whole movie need to download before it will show up?

I'm having the same problem. I contacted Apple tech support about it through the response button on my itunes receipt. All I got was a link to other tech support pages with no relationship to the issue. I sent another complaint to the tech support link on one of those links and all I got was a response with more useless links. I'll give them credit for promptness, but they didn't even acknowledge the Front Row issue, let alone offer a fix. (And yes, I did update to the new Front Row that came out this week before trying the rental.)
Did Apple just blow it and forget to add rentals to Front Row? Tech support sure does seem to be in the dark.

Purchased and rented movies not showing upon Apple TV

I can view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV. The only thing that shows up on the screen is a large white screen. Any ideas or suggestions?

I assume you mean, "I can't view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV"
The white screen indicates an authorisation issue, try restarting your tv and if that is unsuccessful, try de/re-authorising your itms account.

Rented movie not showing on all devices

HELP!! I cannot see/find my rented movie on my imac or apple tv, yet it clearly shows on my imac itunes. all devices are authorised to share yet I cannot see it all on my macbook when i open itunes.
When i open itunes store on macbook, it says the movie is already rented but where is it???
beginning to dislike apple very much...
any suggestion welcome.

Is this QuickTime. If so, which it looks like to me, you
friend will need QuickTime to play it and see the video.
If you have Flash 8 or CS3 you can use the stand alone video
encoder to create an FLV and then insert into Dreamweaver. This
means the user will only need to have a Flash player instead of
QuickTime. Either that or you;ll have to tell visitors to download
